When it comes to choosing a spray tip for your Alkota industrial pressure washer, the options can feel overwhelming.

You might find yourself wondering what difference it makes. A nozzle is a nozzle, right? 

Wrong.

Choosing the wrong spray tip can actually cause significant damage to the surface you're cleaning or the pressure washer you are using. That's why it's so important to choose correctly. If you don't, you could end up with an even bigger mess than you started out with—one that might not be so easy to clean up.

You know you need an industrial pressure washer, but which brand should you buy?

There are a lot of reasons we feel confident that Alkota is the right pressure washer for your job. But before you think we are just tooting our own horn around here, you should understand that each of these reasons come right from the mouths of the people who count most: our customers.

Read on to discover why you should choose an Alkota pressure washer.

In today’s Faces of Alkota, we’re proud to introduce you to one of our regional sales managers, Russ Hess.

It's an age-old question around here: should I use a Hot Water or Cold Water Power Washer? 

While it might sound like an inconsequential choice, similar to using hot or cold water to wash your hands, there are definite costs and benefits that come along with choosing one over the other. 

Pressure Washer. Power Washer. Steam Cleaner. Steam Jenny.

These are a few of the names we often hear people calling our products.

But do they all mean the same thing? Are a pressure washer and a power washer really any different? Spoiler alert: they are the same thing.

Hose reels are one of those accessories that can easily be taken for granted.

It's easy enough to just pile up the extra length of hose on the ground or on top of your power washer, right? 

We don't think so. Our experience has taught us that a hose reel is a key accessory for your pressure washer, one that offers convenience, as well as prolonging the life of your hose.

Have you ever called a company looking for technical support or assistance on a broken or worn-out product, only to find yourself caught in a seemingly never-ending cycle of recordings and operators? 

At Alkota, we're proud to have a phenomenal network of dealers and distributors who stand by our products. 

Our latest installment of Faces of Alkota is a special one. Today, we're introducing you to Roger Walz, the 2018 recipient of the Cleaning Equipment Trade Association (CETA) Lifetime Achievement Award. 

Roger celebrates 44 years with us this year, having joined the Alkota family in 1974. During his time with the company, he's worn several hats, and we're proud to call him one of our longest-tenured employees.
